At the recent North Pacific Yearly Meeting Annual Session, Ann
Stever (University Friends Meeting) introduced Friend-in-Residence Benigno
Sánchez-Eppler.
“Benigno wears his connection with Spirit on his sleeve,” she
said.
I do, too, but sometimes my sleeve is rolled up, my
connection with Spirit tucked out of sight, for fear of being misunderstood, or
of assumptions being made about my beliefs. I’m grateful for times of deep sharing and open listening,
when I can unroll my sleeve and fearlessly embrace the Spirit that is always
with me.
Well put. Keeping one's G-d sleeve rolled up is sometimes advisable. :-D
